Red Square and the Kremlin

Two weeks ago, I got a tour of Moscow- in particular Red Square and the Kremlin. Here is a photo collage of everything I saw:

An ancient church inside the walls of the Kremlin

A HUGE cannon. Actually, it's so big that it doesn't work. It was psychological war. In fact, an invading Tartar army saw it one day and retreated!


The front building of Red Square. This building is actually vacant, the government can't decide what to do with it

The front entrance to Red Square- covered with tourist and street shops selling icons from the USSR

An Orthodox church in Red Square

Lenin's tomb. Perhaps one of the world's most famous mummies

Two carriages from Catherine the Great. They were pretty much like the Roles Royce of the 18th century

This makes the Liberty Bell look like something from "Toys R Us"

A government building. Maybe Putin and Medvedev were inside of it at the time???

Yep, you guessed it, another church.

And another....

And another... Yes, there were at least 100 churches on the premises. Russia tended to build a new church after military victories or other special occasions.

And the final view exiting Red Square
